New Grad Advice From The McGill Alumni LinkedIn Grouptemiaa
The document is a discussion on LinkedIn among alumni of McGill University about advice for new graduates entering the job market. It contains 12 comments from alumni offering tips which include: networking on LinkedIn and other sites; being persistent and not giving up; keeping an open mind but staying true to your values; never stopping learning; being careful when burning bridges; and remembering your career is just a job and not to bring stress home.

Delta Sigma Phi is a fraternity founded in 1899 that values leadership, campus involvement, academics, athletics, and community service. The fraternity has over 115,000 members in 110 chapters across the US and Canada. It highlights characteristics like leadership, initiative, diversity, and community service. Members are involved in various philanthropic events and community service activities. The document encourages those interested to learn more by attending recruitment events in February.
The document discusses the phenomenon of a "quarter-life crisis" that many people experience in their mid-20s. It suggests there is a myth that one's 20s are the best time of life, but many young adults find themselves struggling with the transition to adulthood, facing stress over their career path, relationships, and financial stability. Surveys show high percentages of people in their mid-20s feeling under pressure and that they are having a quarter-life crisis. The document examines how this generation faces more uncertainty than previous ones, with economic instability and lack of clear paths, leaving many twentysomethings feeling lost.
This document summarizes an article from the Fall 2009 issue of thedailymistake.org. The article encourages readers to share stories of mistakes or challenges they faced after high school related to careers, education, finances, etc. to help others. It notes the deteriorating job market and high cost of education, leaving teens and 20s facing difficult choices. It seeks stories from those who can offer unbiased advice on careers, jobs, and succeeding professionally. The website also interviews people on their experiences and advice. The goal is to help youth facing these decisions learn from others' real-world experiences.

Last week I presented on a NewsCred webinar on the future of content marketing. I talked about how marketing has always used great storytelling to connect with people.
I talked about how we are becoming a much more visual society, scanning information for the details we need in less than a second.
I used some stats and research and graphs to show that content marketing is all the marketing that's left. And my focus for the future of content marketing was for brands to be:
Informative
Visual
Shareable (and snackable, consumable, digestible, and always-on)
Entertaining
But I don't think any of these should be content marketing word of the year! I just know that your audience wants stories, not ads. And I hope to help you give it them!

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
"Once upon a time": powerful words that begin many oral narratives and indicate that the story to be told will be imbued with magic and myth. Organizational folklore can be a very powerful force for instilling or perpetuating behavior, systems, and culture within an organization.
Too often, fear and negativity are the driving forces in the folklore behind many organizational traditions. A positive narrative that embraces the customs and traditions of a healthy, balanced feedback loop can help jumpstart your DevOps journey. This talk will help you frame your narrative alongside metrics and use folklore as a catalyst for positive change.
The document discusses the benefits of Internet of Things (IoT) technology for the Muslim world. It describes how connecting physical assets through sensors can help monitor things like health, transportation, and resource usage. The data collected from these connected devices and sensors can provide insights and optimization opportunities. New business models are emerging around monetizing sensor data through "Sensing as a Service" where data is licensed to applications and organizations. The document advocates for building an IoT ecosystem in Malaysia as a testbed for connecting infrastructure and developing smart city applications.

Wearable technology is a growing market expected to reach 130 million units and $8 billion in value by 2018. However, it is still small compared to other technology markets like smartphones and the internet of things. Existing wearable companies are struggling as many consumers stop using their devices within a year and new battery technologies may be needed for long-term viability and adoption of wearables. Researchers are exploring technologies like energy harvesting from body heat and ambient WiFi signals to power wearables without batteries.

The document discusses the rise of "social sales" where customers are incentivized and rewarded for sharing their purchases on social media. It provides examples of brands that have implemented successful social sales campaigns in various industries such as alcohol, travel, automotive and retail. The key aspects of a social sale are that it begins a social relationship between brand and customer after the purchase by having the customer share it for a reward, which can then influence other potential customers.

Millennials Are Defining the Workplace
Posted: 08/26/2014 6:03 pm EDT Updated: 08/26/2014 6:59 pm EDT
Millennials lead the pack when it comes to digital influence.
And understandably so. After all, now in their 20s and 30s, these adults have grown up in the
digital era. It comes naturally to them. It is part of their every day. It defines them and they, in
turn, have significant influence on those around them, whether from home, the workplace or the
treadmill.
Social media, of course, are the favored form of communications. With smartphones, tablets and
other digital devices, each tap matters greatly as they share thoughts and concerns or read what
friends and others have to say.
Pew Research calls Millennials "digital natives." In its 2014 report, "Millennials in Adulthood,"
Pew points out that they are:
"the only generation for which these new technologies are not something they've had to adapt to.
Not surprisingly, they are the most avid users.
"They have taken the lead in seizing on the new platforms of the digital era - the internet, mobile
technology, social media - to construct personalized networks of friends, colleagues and affinity
groups."
In what may seem as no more than the blink of an eye, these Millennials are fast becoming the
largest group of employees at companies large and small. Neither idle nor quiet, many of them
are making their mark.
Fast moving through the ranks and exerting greater influence in the workplace, they are now
forcing changes in how to motivate and engage with employees. And you can count on that
continuing for a long, long time.
Ron Alsop, journalist, author and former Wall Street Journal editor, set the tone for how the
Millennials would eventually dominate the workforce in his ground-breaking 2008 book: "The
Trophy Kids Grow Up: How the Millennial Generation Is Shaking Up The Workplace."
Mr. Alsop saw early on that the Millennials would bring a set of values and priorities that
differed significantly from the generations that came before them: Gen X and Baby Boomers.
With the Millennials, he wrote, "employers are facing some of the biggest management
challenges they've ever encountered." http://www.thetrophykids.com
While the earliest assessments of Millennials tended to be very skeptical of this group - quick to
call them coddled and focused on themselves - we now have better insights and see this
generation as having very different expectations of employers than did their predecessors.
Among Millennials, loyalty is hard won, independent thinking is prized, questioning is the norm
and proof is what they are looking for.
Pew adds another very important distinction: Millennials, the research says, are "unmoored from
institutions," or unattached from organizations that have been so important to earlier generations.
This applies to religion, social groups, corporations and politics. Adding to their sense of not
belonging, t ...

This document summarizes how Mrs. Ryan and the priest influence Jackie's attitude towards religion in Frank O'Connor's short story "First Confession." Mrs. Ryan instills fear in Jackie about confession and sin through her strict lessons, while the priest helps Jackie overcome his fear and realize that God is forgiving. The document examines how these two opposing influences shape Jackie's religious views and experience with his first confession.
This document discusses the potential of girls as a target market and outlines the company Team<21, which was founded to focus on this group. It notes that girls today are very different than in the past and embrace technology. While society and brands still underestimate girls, they are actually influential consumers and decision makers. The company aims to provide strategic consultancy and creative concepts to help brands better understand and reach the young female market.

The document discusses various topics related to leadership, including:
- Definitions of true leadership and how remarkable leaders build relationships and focus on customers.
- Toxic leadership and examples of leaders who harmed organizations through arrogance, dishonesty, and self-interest.
- The importance of understanding changes in the workforce, particularly the rise of "digital natives" who learn and work differently due to technology influences.
- How organizations can influence customers by embracing new technologies and social media to enhance relationships and leverage collective knowledge.

This document discusses managing different generations in the workplace. It outlines the key characteristics of the Lost Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y. Some of the challenges of a multigenerational workforce include differing work ethics, views of authority, and technological skills. To promote safety and productivity, managers must understand what motivates each generation and provide customized feedback, training, and rewards. Fostering respect among generations and allowing each to contribute their strengths can help create a cooperative team environment.
Reaching Generation C (ASTD International Conference and Exposition)Andrew Krzmarzick
When you think of the typical Web 2.0 user, you probably envision a Millennial or Generation X, right? You may be surprised to learn that Boomers are the fastest growing group at social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, with the average age on LinkedIn being 40 years old. I use the term "Generation C" describe all people who engage one another on the Internet with a 2.0 mindset: creative, collaborative and community-oriented. I also give several ideas for bridging the generation gap in our workplaces and classrooms through social media.

The document then offers tips for colleges to communicate their affordability message, including:
1. Ensuring their website provides clear financial aid and affordability information.
2. Understanding their data on students who were priced out of attending and the factors influencing those decisions.
3. Being proactive in starting early conversations with students and families on affordability options.

Can Relationship Capital Solve The WorldGUY FLEMMING
The document discusses the concept of Relationship Capital and proposes two "Laws of Relationship Capital". The First Law states that all living or once-living entities possess Relationship Capital. The Second Law builds on this, stating that while non-organic entities do not inherently possess Relationship Capital, they can reflect the collective Relationship Capital of organic entities that interact with them. The document uses examples like Mount Rushmore and relationships between different organisms to illustrate these laws and their implications for valuing relationships in an economic system based on Relationship Capital rather than solely financial measures.
This presentation summarizes common characteristics of Generation Y to help understand their motivations and develop strategies for managing intergenerational relationships in the workforce. Key points include: Generation Y comprises over 70 million people in the US and will make up nearly half the workforce by 2014; formative events like 9/11, the Iraq War, and technology shaped their worldview; they value meritocracy, camaraderie, non-traditionalism, and work-life integration; implications for businesses include addressing expectations around compensation, career opportunities, collaboration, and feeling nurtured in the workplace. The goal is to understand generational differences and disconnects to facilitate a positive transition into the workforce.

Erik Qualman: How Social Media Transforms the Way We Do BusinessLIFT Summit 2009
Socialnomics by Erik Qualman discusses how social media has changed personal behavior and how businesses must adapt. It explores what successful businesses and individuals are doing to excel in today's social media landscape. Some key points include that social media has overtaken pornography as the top online activity, products and services will increasingly find customers through social media, and that marketers' jobs are changing to focus more on relationship building and customer value over traditional advertising. The book provides 10 commandments for social media success and influence.
The document discusses seven hidden networks that power organizations: work, social, expert, strategy, innovation, improvement, and decision-making. These informal relationships influence organizational performance but are often unknown to leaders. The networks are misaligned when some individuals like "Carmen" are well-connected in the expert network but not the innovation network, raising questions about optimizing the networks. Understanding the hidden networks provides insight into organizational change and improvement.
The document discusses building access to higher education around the world. It outlines that education leads to higher incomes but that students in developing countries face barriers to accessing loans for college. The organization works with microfinance institutions to develop new student loan programs tailored for each market. Key factors that have led to successful programs include loans for vocational programs, borrowers having parents who are microloan customers, mothers co-signing loans, targeting high school graduates, and providing an initial interest-only repayment period. The goal is to help students obtain jobs and careers that increase their wages and opportunities.
Millennials (people ages 24-38) will make up half the workforce by 2022, with Generation Z not far behind. Learn about the cultures of creative and high-tech workplaces, apply these lessons to multigenerational organizations, and discover communication practices that will support sustainability in your business. Let’s embrace these characteristics to bring long-term benefits to Rotary.

We recently hosted the much-anticipated Community Skill Builders Workshop during our June online meeting. This event was a culmination of six months of listening to your feedback and crafting solutions to better support your PMI journey. Here’s a look back at what happened and the exciting developments that emerged from our collaborative efforts.
A Gathering of Minds
We were thrilled to see a diverse group of attendees, including local certified PMI trainers and both new and experienced members eager to contribute their perspectives. The workshop was structured into three dynamic discussion sessions, each led by our dedicated membership advocates.
Key Takeaways and Future Directions
The insights and feedback gathered from these discussions were invaluable. Here are some of the key takeaways and the steps we are taking to address them:
• Enhanced Resource Accessibility: We are working on a new, user-friendly resource page that will make it easier for members to access training materials and real-world application guides.
• Structured Mentorship Program: Plans are underway to launch a mentorship program that will connect members with experienced professionals for guidance and support.
• Increased Networking Opportunities: Expect to see more frequent and varied networking events, both virtual and in-person, to help you build connections and foster a sense of community.
Moving Forward
We are committed to turning your feedback into actionable solutions that enhance your PMI journey. This workshop was just the beginning. By actively participating and sharing your experiences, you have helped shape the future of our Chapter’s offerings.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the Community Skill Builders Workshop. Your engagement and enthusiasm are what make our Chapter strong and vibrant. Stay tuned for updates on the new initiatives and opportunities to get involved. Together, we are building a community that supports and empowers each other on our PMI journeys.
Stay connected, stay engaged, and let’s continue to grow together!

3. The JTN Recommends: being informed about e-technology
During discussions with parents, JTN members and providers of substance abuse prevention and treatment,
we hear frequently about lack of knowledge regarding e-technology. Or maybe about familiarity with the
World Wide Web and its offerings but being overwhelmed by what’s available. Or maybe concern about
safety. We’ve investigated and discovered a few safe and easily negotiated places for the “digital novice.”
We are encouraging you to be informed about the web because our “digital natives” are. It is a grand part of
their culture and it is not going away.
